> people love their celebrities. They get really mad if you talk bad about Elon Musk lol I find it quite pathetic personally.

People have strong opinions about celebrities they don't know, don't have any control over and have zero material stake in; news at eleven. (The last is the only one that isn't sometimes true about Elon.)
I don't see the point. Windows 11 offers additional features over 10 and it feels very slightly faster.

If I wasn't gaming, I would just use Linux anyway.
It's a hard way to make an easy living.
Honestly, I miss teletext so much. I was my primary news source until it was in practice abandoned.

It was so nice. No pictures at all. Just text of different sizes and block art. And the wait time made you read in order once and not 'doomscrool'.

The limited text length forced the writers to keep it short.

My point being, one way coms are underrated.
I have an Alienware system and the Bluetooth on Windows is driving me insane. It's been a quarter century, Microsoft - get it to work.

Just yesterday I spent about 25 minutes and gave up. "Oh, so it's paired but there is no sound? I need to dig up that legacy settings window where I force the headphones to be the output device. Where did that thing go? It used to work. Hmmm... Let me try removing the device and then going into Sound settings and ADDING a new output device. It worked!"

A few seconds later it just disconnected again. Tried that like six times.

Overall, Windows enshitification has been hard and fast.
pandas is a python-centric, tabular data handler that works well in clouds (and desktop Debian). Pandas can read parquet data today, among other libs mentioned. The binary dot-so driver style is single-host centric and not the emphasis of these cloudy projects (and their cloudy funders)

https://pandas.pydata.org/docs/reference/api/pandas.read_par...

https://packages.debian.org/buster/python3-pandas

Perhaps more alarm is called for when this python+pandas and parquet does not work on Debian, but that is not the case today.

ps- data access in clouds often uses the S3:// endpoint . Contrast to a POSIX endpoint using _fread()_ or similar.. many parquet-aware clients prefer the cloudy, un-POSIX method to access data and that is another reason it is not a simple package in Debian today.
Fair question. My motivation was mainly to understand if there was something specific that drove that choice. Better question for you maybe: For any new project, which one would you choose and why?
It's not. Two counterexamples: LuaJIT's interpreter/VM, and Wren's, both use NaN boxing, and are among the fastest VMs out there (we're ignoring JITs as out of scope).

It isn't tagging pointers that makes things (some Lisps are 'things', some are not) slow: it's pervasive abstraction and indirection. Doing some masking on a pointer is pipelined, out-of-order, one to three cycles, and is absolutely dwarfed by cache misses and conditional mispredictions, let alone the sort of pointer chasing which is common in idiomatic Lisp (or indeed Python) code.
XP was already the last one, yet we are up to 12 soon ;)
Whoa, thanks a lot for coming here, I do appreciate your input on this.
I'm not looking for unicorns as-such. Sure you do get them, and we have a few, but it's not like every time we go to market we're looking for unicorns.

It's more that getting people who fit our culture, who "get" our approach to business, who get on with their co-workers, who are going to hang around for a while, who are willing to learn.
It's a funny thing these days; there are two "optimistic" camps. One that says that social change is impossible, but technology can save us, and the other that says that we have no real near-term technological fixes, but we can be saved by large-scale changes to society. In an irony that would be delicious if it weren't so existentially terrifying, I think they are both right and both wrong, but not the way we'd wish.
Given what I've read about his management style, I doubt it's like that. Probably more like:

I can help! Emailing you now :)

Our company (scratchdata.com, open source) is literally built to solve the problem of schlepping large amounts of data between sources and destinations, so I have worked on this problem a lot personally and happy to nerd out about what works.
but unfortunately my PC's processor is apparently not capable of running it (Intel Core i7 4790K)

I have to wonder if there is some aspect of bluffing on their part. If the W11 image is burned with Rufus [1] some of the hardware checks can be disabled along with disabling the requirement for Microsoft accounts. What I also found interesting is that the Microsoft download page used to link to Rufus but then they removed the link. I am curious what conversation occurred internally.

It's the last in the sense that it's mostly a rolling release with some major upgrades.
my guy, i never said that. im just shocked that a guy like this would bother to keep scamming over and over again and losing money when he managed to get enough money to lift himself out of any sort of poverty the first time and could have used it more wisely.
Thank you so much! That sounds surprisingly straightforward. I expected a lot more fiddling to get going.

Where would I start if I wanted to use a model programmatically ? Like let's say I am building a chat bot. I have a large data set of replies I want the model to mimic, and I'd want to do this in Python. Of course, I'd probably use a different model than Granite.
This bitvec I wrote for Servo and Gecko uses this technique, and has been shipping in Firefox releases for over six years with no bugs found:

https://docs.rs/smallbitvec/

I'm pretty sure you can find several more examples in Firefox, as well as other major browsers.
Yup. It's a straightforward consequence of how society has evolved over time. "Wire fraud" specifically means using electronic communication channels to defraud something. Since most business is conducted over electronic communication channels nowadays, it all falls into that category.

IANAL, but I doubt that there's any great alternative that doesn't involve rewriting 100 years' worth of legislation and case law, which generally distinguishes categories of fraud by the medium over which they occur.
"junction" is pulling the heavy weight here. The station is right before the tracks branch, so the purpose of the station is probably to let riders transfer from service on the one branch to service on the other.
The alphafold work has been used across the industry (successfully, in the sense of blind prediction), and has been replicated independently. The work on alphafold will likely net Demis and John a Nobel prize in the next few years.

(that said, one should always inspect Google publications with a fine-toothed comb and lots of skepticism, as they have a tendency to juice the results)
Ubuntu is the one forcing the use of Snaps, and it's one of the reasons lots of people are abandoning Ubuntu on both server and desktop. You're going to run into this semi-regularly with a variety of software if you continue to use Ubuntu.

FWIW, Certbot is available in the standard repos for almost all other major distros.
Whether SBF was right or not does not exempt him from the fraud that was commited
in other words, this has been converted to a novelty, and has no use for scientific purposes.
A prediction is a prediction; it's not necessarily a correct prediction.

The weatherman predicts the weather, even if he's sometimes wrong, we don't say "he attempts to predict" the weather.
Ask HN: What are the key decision factors for open sourcing a product?
I'm considering open sourcing the product I'm currently building and am trying to pinpoint the critical decision-making factors involved in this choice. While the benefits of building a community and increasing transparency are appealing, the potential challenges in monetization and control are considerable.

Here are some specific questions I have:

- What are the primary factors that should influence the decision to open source a product?
- Under what circumstances does it make more sense to keep a product proprietary?

Would love to hear from those who have faced this decision and learn from your experiences and insights.

Thanks!
Jon
Oh. I'm sorry, I didn't realize that AI research had stopped yesterday and we will not be making any further improvements, ever. Guess we're safe then. Pack 'em up boys, nothing to see here!

I am having a whole heck of a lot of trouble reading your comment charitably. Either you do realize that AI research is continuing and will soon pass the limit in the bill if it hasn't already, or you are a troll.
> This reminds me alot of the Thernos case where she tried to make the case not about fraud but about an overly optimistic CEO promising something and being wrong about that.

Right, and that fell apart with, well, many things, but the one that stands out to me - upcoming FDA inspection, and Holmes (in something out of a cartoon) literally had someone put a filing cabinet in front of the door to the lab where they were doing actual work to hide it, and direct inspectors to a faked up lab, i.e. outright fraud and deception.
OK, but compared to today, the mounds of population are also missing. So be careful that you make a fair comparison.

Counterexample: Pirates had a fairly anarchic organization - certainly more anarchic than most ships. They were still pretty good at killing people.
If someone steals something, taking the thing they stole back is of course the first step.

Other than that, the next step depends on what you think the point of the court/prison system is. If the point of the system is to prevent criminals from harming people: white collar criminals do crime at scale. They can hurt many more people than blue collar criminals.

If the point is to reform people, it seems like white collar criminals have an easier time lying to themselves and justifying their actions, because they don’t physically take things from people, it’s all very abstract. So that seems like a harder project that might take longer.

If the point is to prevent others from following their example, there are lots of reasons to punish white collar criminals more harshly. Their crimes are more difficult to work out, so getting caught might be harder. Plus there’s less of a de-facto preventative aspect—with blue collar crimes, depending on the crime, there’s likely a chance the victim might be physically present and quite irate, so they might fight, potentially even kill, the culprit.

Of course there are some reasons that blue collar crimes can be more serious (muggers might physically hurt somebody). But I don’t think hard time is inappropriate in either case.

I meant no lasting solution to inequality has been found so far, certainly not by using force/laws/coercion. Surprisingly, that doesn't seem to discourage certain people to keep trying that path.

I don't see anything in that link explaining how one could verify age while remaining anonymous to all parties. How does one verify the age is correct and associated with the true person? It also seems the cert is for specific sites. So doesn't that mean the identity provider (trust anchor?) who verified the age now has a list of which sites you're using your certs on sinc eyou must define a reciever (recipient domain?)? Maybe you can explain the flow in an example?
Yes, and the issues that ECC can correct for are a small fraction of that overall HW failure rate. And SW issues will always still dominate.
No solution can be perfect, there will always be ways around things like that. DRM was supposed to stop piracy but it had the opposite effect. You can argue implementation problems all day along but that's exactly ALWAYS the issue.
> so that I could prove “Chris O” wrong on StackExchange.

If that is the case and this works, why is there no answer stating that on StackExchange?
This is incredibly obscure for normal people. FDIC covers up to $250k, I believe per bank but don’t hold me to that.

You have to have a metric shit ton of cash laying around before you can’t be fully covered by FDIC stripes across a few banks.

Bank runs haven’t been a “normal person problem” in nearly 100 years (FDIC started in 1933 after the Great Depression bank runs).
TFA says:

This does not mean that there's no server though, since the folder could get shared via SMB, NFS, etc.

I am not aware of anybody currently criticiszing AF2's abilities outside of its training set. In fact the most recent papers (written by crystallographers) they are mostly arguing about atomic-level details of side chains at this point.
Go for it. I'm sure it depends on the games that you play, but for me, everything "just works" under Steam and Linux. I'm mostly 4G or builder-games, with some RPG like Baldur's Gate.

Work does use Microsoft stuff, and I do work from home a lot. However, everything is in the cloud now, which works just fine from Linux and Vivaldi or Firefox.

tl;dr: When I put together my new machine about 1-1/2 years ago, there was no longer a Windows partition. Haven't missed it...

Right, so basically by your ninth time doing this you’d have broken even (ish) on time. He was doing it every day so that’d be a great investment.

It also would reduce the possibility of errors greatly I’d think.

I'm not sure that I agree with this, because that would make most banks thieves.

The operating model of a bank is to take depositors money and loan it out at a higher interest rate; Then there are investment banks that "hedge risk" and seek higher return ratios - ie what happened to Bear Stearns in 2008 (a reminder that nobody went to jail for 2008).
Thanks! Makes sense. The irony is in 2024, I have spent more time in Windows 3.1 in a QEMU virtual machine lovingly restoring retro games than I have in any modern Windows. I think I will soon have one of the few copy tower capable of reading 5.25 inch floppy disks when I build that system out with parts that have been stored in an air conditioned basement all these years. I'll eventually have to blog about this.
All right, fine. She was murdered instead.

Now, who do you think should deal with it, your buddies or the state?
There is no inherent difference. It's all memory.

That said, as a sibling already pointed out, it's standard to control stack allocation with a single counter. It's kind of standard to control heap allocation with an index and a lot of book-keeping.

But you are allowed to optimize the heap until there's no difference.
Ximian and Mono were built almost immediately after .NET was released and provided a decent multiplatform community-supported alternative for years, but you somehow think that forking an existing and working codebase would be more difficult than a completely independent reimplementation?

Look, there are obvious differences in how Java and the JVM are maintained and evolved as compared to .NET, but to continue claiming that these differences really matter all that much is just FUD, to put it politely.
It's funny because it's just as grinding, repetitive, and nit-picky as normal work is. But I think the big draws are the excitement and the fact that you can do it on whatever schedule works for you, meaning you only work when you feel like you need cash. You're not in the rat race.
Weird. Why is there not a fourth reason: integrated advertising everywhere?
Same experience here. On a little netbook, Windows 8 had a small but noticeable performance boost over Windows 7.
Serverless Runtime / Database Co-Design with Asynchronous I/O [pdf]
AlphaFold very explicitly (unless something has changed) removes NMR structures as references because they are not accurate enough. I have a PhD in NMR biomolecular structure and I wouldn't trust. the structures for anything.
One could also argue that the problem is actually educational.
I recently(ish) built a new home server using an cheap AM5 motherboard from ASUS that supports ECC. Good performance and power usage is around 45 W idle with a couple of SSDs and a couple of HDDs spinning.

Not the cheapest, but I wanted to keep power consumption low for noise and reduced heating while still having good performance if needed.

I also considered a motherboard with IPMI on AM5(Asrock rack), but that was much more expensive.

Worked out quite nicely.
But what if they are just used as internal updates? Surely you share updates with what you've done in some way?
Ratcliffe cites email traffic in imposing remote work ban at Manchester United
The way I understood it went down for the CEO:

1. Made optimistic claims about future product.

2. Some of the people tasked with implementation disagreed about optimistic claim.

3. Those people got fired for underperforming.

4. All people on the team tasked with implementation agree with optimistic claim.

5. Doubled down on the promise.

Repeat every year.

I can't see how a CEO could be blamed in this scenario, as clearly they were lied to by their subordinates.
Also no commercial use, from the paper:

> AlphaFold 3 will be available as a non-commercial usage only server at https://www.alphafoldserver.com, with restrictions on allowed ligands and covalent modifications. Pseudocode describing the algorithms is available in the Supplementary Information. Code is not provided.
The industry has definitely lost an element of craftsmanship and desire to build great software for people.
Other than the approaching 14-Oct-2025 EOL (unless we want to pay for another year or two of support/patches), I'd definitely consider it

They've made the Start menu far less usable. Worse, they eliminated the ability to move the task bar to the Top (for me) or Side positions of the screens; it's still noticeably inconvenient years after switching — VERY annoying. And the cruft on the desktop, force-pinning XBox (which I have never used even once) to the taskbar... I'm fairly locked into Windows with some CAD software, but turning it into their advertising platform is becoming a serious problem

AI? I subscribe to ChatGPT and use it frequently. But I want it to stay in it's own sandbox, not be spread all over the OS. Unless they make some extremely innovative and useful app for it, keep it there; I don't want the hit it'll take on the CPU, memory, or my attention.
"a Tesla", not "all Teslas". And of course "should" not "will". And so on. If his press releases are to be treated like contracts that he can be held to, then the verbiage needs to be parsed as if his words were contracts.

That's just not going to go very well for the people litigating that he made false claims. Which gives the impression that the litigation isn't so much about punishing the wrongs he has committed, as they are about punishing the person that no one likes.

Maybe there are other tweets that are better examples of your argument, I'll wait to see if they come up in any of the umpteen fluff articles we'll see over the next few months. In the meantime though, this seems more than a little unfounded.
Yeah, X-Wing vs Tie Fighter had a lot of the popular Star Wars music in redbook audio so it would work fine in a CD player, a fact that I was super excited to find out when I was a kid playing with my action figures.
> Any idea if Microsoft will extend the EOL? If they don't I'm strongly considering switching to Linux. Totally fed up with what Windows has become.

I would suggest that you should just jump to Linux. Even if Windows 10 stays supported for longer, that's a temporary solution on an OS that already hates you, even if it's less blatant than 11.
I moved to Linux (Manjaro KDE) as my primary desktop OS about 3 years ago and it's been great. I'm a casual gamer and all of my Steam games run good on Linux. I run Windows 10 in a VM that I use occasionally for work stuff using MS Remote Desktop.
AlphaFold has been widely validated- it's now appreciated that its predictions are pretty damn good, with a few important exceptions, instances of which are addressed with the newer implementation.

If it's slower than a webview, I strongly suspect you're holding it wrong.

However "if you do it the naive/obvious way, it performs this badly" is not a good property of a system and still probably explains why so many things are dog slow to get going.

(I doubt I'd do any better than you did myself, mind, I'm pretty sure I have even less idea what I'm doing on android than you do)

I'd be willing to bet the price of a pint that if either of us flailed around on iOS instead we'd probably end up with much better startup time even hardware-for-hardware because the easiest path for us to flail down is probably much saner than the equivalent on android.

(insert rant about APIs needing to make sure the natural path that a newbie takes is also a path that produces -good- results even if they'll still need to git gud to achieve -excellent- results)
My favorite provision for covered models is "make sure it can be shut down". Yes, perhaps this could be a concern for future "models", but circa 2024 LLMs do not have agency and are hosted on fairly traditional server farms with obvious power switches. This legislation may have referred to Hollywood films (Kubrick, Cameron, Wachowski et al) more than technological realities. While perhaps extreme shutdown measures might be desired to stop malicious software agents that depend upon inference from a covered model, there are other reasonable security measures available. The legislation seems to fundamentally misunderstand what large language models actually are.
From the looks of the scuba diving video, it looks worse. There's way more leg movement and it looks less controlled (and more likely to damage corals/kick up sand from the bottom) than slow finning.
